GISMA offers a general management MBA program in collaboration with the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University. The Krannert School is AACSB accredited. The full-time MBA program combines the quality of an internationally recognized U.S. MBA degree with extensive real-world experience in a German/European business context.

The program is based on the core curriculum of our academic partner, Purdue University's Krannert School of Management, from which GISMA graduates receive one of their degrees upon completion of the program. With the advent of a formal partnership between GISMA Business School and the Leibniz University of Hannover (LUH), GISMA graduates now receive not only a U.S. MBA degree, but also a German MBA degree granted by the LUH, state-accredited German university with a 200-year tradition.

Our faculty members are all experts in their fields, and come from equally diverse cultural backgrounds as our student body.

Being a concentrated course of study, GISMA’s full-time MBA program is completed in only 11 months, though based on the same core curriculum as comparable two-year MBA programs. This timeframe is challenging but of special benefit to those who prefer not to take an extended career break in order to earn their degree.
